You'd send small regular updates as patches to linux-scsi 2. You wouldn't try to dump megabytes of patches into the stable kernel. The diffstats on this patch are: 40 files changed, 6933 insertions(+), 5325 deletions(-) And it's 640k in size. You're also trying to rev the aic79xx driver from 1.3.9 to 2.0.5; that's a bit of a major revision for a bugfix release. I'm really not happy dropping this into 2.6.1; what breadth of testing outside of Adaptec has it had? James
